1947 Map of Meshoppen

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dramatic path through Wyoming County, creating sharp meanders like the prominent Jayne Bend. This post-war survey illustrates a landscape defined by its steep terrain and river-oriented infrastructure, where the Lehigh Valley railroad tracks follow the water's edge, passing through the Vosburg Tunnel to bypass the river's deep loops. Local life centers on established settlements such as Meshoppen and Mehoopany, while smaller communities like North Mehoopany and Scottsville sit along the valley floor.
